smar rreunn nog RAPINQQATSV if Thisinvention relates generally to figures such as applied to rain-coats, the invention having more particular reference toga novel type of 'anlmated figures.

V The invention has for an able eyes and lips whichv will render"; the sand anlmatedifigures more attractive. f v

For further I comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages "thereof, reference will be had tothe following description and accompanying drawings, and tojthe appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

. 'Fig. 1 of the drawings, is a rear viewof a'rain-coatembodying an animated figure 1 proved animated figure as illustrated 'in' tion. 1

constructed in accordance with. my inven Fig.2 of the drawings, is a similar view. of

the rain-coat embodying. another, animated figure constructed in accordance with my. invention.

Y Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken onthe line 3- 3 of Fig. .1. p

Fig. 4' is an enlarged face view of my im- Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a .vertical sectional view taken I aperture 25,-and 1s pos 1t1oned or located in the onthe line 5-5 of Fig. 6.

, i Fig. 6 isa vertical central sectional view of the" movable eye as-used in connection" with my improved animated figure. 7 V

I Fig. 7 is an enlarged transverse sectional;

V1GW taken on the line 77 of F1g.4.

The-rear members 10, the sleeves 711,- the collar 12, are the component parts of a raini coat of common, ordinary construction such as generally worn, during inclement weather. It being understood that-I do not necessarily limit my invention to rain-coats of the class;
